An automated logon script? What are you talking about?

If you mean a script to automatically logon to a Unix box (though neither Apache and Sendmail are limited to Unix, but hey), then you should probably look at Expect.

Put "Expect" into a search engine, and check out what it's capable of. Perl is also capable of automatically logging into a box over telnet/ssh.

Is this through Expect? Because I've been looking for a telnet/ssh Perl client.

It shouldn't be that hard to create a perl telnet client, considering there's a Net::Telnet perl module which allows you to connect and login to local and remove telnet daemons.

Expect is VERY easy.

#!/usr/local/bin/expect
spawn telnet 0
expect "ogin:"
send "phil\r"
expect "assword:"
send "MyPassword\r"


1. First line is a HASH bang (you're going to need a shell that supports that to use it) to run the interpreter expect.
2. Run the telnet program
3. Expect the string "ogin:"
4. When that's received send "phil", the login name.
5. Expect the string "assword:"
6. Send your password.

Phil.
